but then again half of the new maps are such garbage anyways, i was looking out the window on one of them, i was thinking " mountains in outta space? "

Perhaps that map was not intended to represent a space station [edit]or ship[/edit].

Not all maps are spaceships.  Some are space stations, such as ns_hera.

[a civilian]

And some are surface bases.  Isn't Hera a surface base?

Allow me to vent some mapper vitriol.

The locations of NS can be anywhere that's futuristic. This can be on spaceships, space stations, outposts on planets or moons, hell, astoroids if you want. They could, but haven't been yet, in cities, hell, anything goes as long as it fits in with the general mood of NS.

And to be honest, if you don't like the maps, prove you can do better. Don't bitch about them, show the mappers how it's done. If you can't, i'm sorry, but you have absolutely no right to comment. You don't know the months of work it takes to make an NS map, you don't know the hours of boring compiling, the hours of optimisation and bug testing. You don't know jack unless you're a mapper.

The new maps are looking great, and i defy anyone that badmouths ns_ayumi. It takes a high standard to get a map accepted as official, and it takes a hell of a lot of work. Show some damned respect and shut the hell up. This is why Relic25 left the NS community entirely and turned his back on the dev team, because of people whining about ns_bast. If you don't like a map, don't play it, but don't have the audacity to :Ding whine about it, if you, yourself, can't do any better.

Tanith is, it's a high-altitude chem test facility, hence the chem room.

ayumi is goshdang mothertrucking beeeyoootiful. i lub it.


pity that, i really enjoy bast. think it's one of the prettiest maps around. and have some pretty durn epic games on it. the thing is, i'm sure MOST ns player really enjoyed his work. but the squeeky wheel gets the grease so to speak. i just think that so many of the complainers posted than those who really enjoyed it, he might ahve gotten scewed feedback.

nothing but  <3  <3  for all the mappers and their hardwork to make purdy, purdy maps.

yup, yup. Love the Glass Hallway too.  I <3 windows, you get to see the pretty environment .  Although, I've always wondered... It's snowing outside and the ground is covered in snow, yet the building remains precipitation free, same goes for the top of the glass hallway. Futuristic Ice Melters? or OMGSNoWh4X?

I loved Bast.

Well at least theres a Bast Remake in the works.

[BobTheJanitor]

And without the forums I haven't been able to keep up on the progress of the bast remake. It was going very quickly last time I saw... I wonder where they're at now? I can't wait to play it!

perhaps the building is giving off a TON of heat. say.. you had fusion reactors for heating, err.. or soemthing that gave you an over-abundance of energy. well, you might spend that on heating the outside of the building so yer pretty facility doesn't get snowed under

Unfortunately Esuna, I don't have any respect for people that cry and pout and run away. I can't map. Hell I can't even get my one room map to even RUN (something about unable to find .bsp errors), but that doesn't mean I need to show respect for someone who designed the WORST BALANCED MAP in NS (Well, until 2.0 came), refused to fix it (or if he did, he just made it WORSE in 2.0), then cried himself to sleep because he simply sucks at balance and can't take criticism.

You mean Flayra?

[Uranium - 235]

Flayra didn't make bast. Flayra did make a map and everyone who saw it agreed it was pretty bad

But really now, Relic quitting because no one liked his map, that's like GM closing down for good when they hear that one of their cars has a manufacturing flaw in it. Esuna, just because I can't build a jet engine doesn't mean I'm not allowed to complain when I find out that it leaks toxic fumes into the cabin. Just because I can't build a nuclear reactor doesn't mean I'm not allowed to complain about nuclear byproducts, Cherynobel. Just because I can't make a game like NS doesn't mean I'm not allowed to complain about how incredibly :Ded up balance is, how much worse it gets.

There is a fine difference between critique and flaming. Flaming is something that nobody is entitled to, critique something that anybody has the right to utter. I don't need to be a mapper to criticize a map. I don't have a driving license, but I can still tell when someone is driving like crap and breaking the rules. Just because it takes weeks and months to create a map doesn't mean that it is something holy that must be revered and worshipped. There is a big difference between flaming a map to kingdom come and making constructive posts about what's wrong with a  map and what needs fixing. That's why you test a map before you declare it done - to get feedback on it. If only mappers were entitled to criticizing, you'd never get a proper testing session.

I tried my hand at mapping... Counter-Strike mapping is a hell of a lot easier than Natural-Selection mapping... And standard Half-Life maps are just plain fun to make... Man, I made a few fun ones... That's all that matters personally, is the level of fun the map permits... I gotta get back into mapping...  :p  <3

I just realized I'm completely off subject... Sorry :ph34r:

[Insane]

Sorry to rain on the hate parade (and to ressurect an old post, but I feel quite strongly about this), but Relic25 did not leave NS because of whining about his map, although there was friction between him and certain members of the community (*cough*veterans*cough*).

He left because of time constraints and real-life obligations.  He has a newborn son to look after these days, and I would imagine that's more important than fixing an NS map, the source of which was lost anyway.
